Hi Matt, Thanks for the url for pkgmaster as for some security issue maybe it seems impossible to use wget on the raq ( it is a raq) to download latest pkg from mysql.com. I`m afraid the problem though is not with mysql or CF 5 but with the way I have inadvertently configured the raq following a reload so that the raq has allocated www.mydomain.com to localhost and replaced localhost with this address. Trouble is I dont immediately see the way to reconfigure the raq to return it to localhost, I`ll have to have another look at this aspect. That's why both CF and mysql won't allow connections I guess onto localhost in the connection example below. If you know the parameters or setup on the raq required to support allocation on raq of localhost and 127.0.0.1, let me know. Will the .pkg upgrade a previous version of MySQL or should previous ver be removed first?

If when you say that you are using 'cobalt linux Red Hat' you mean RaQ (rather than LX50) then I would use the PKG installer for MySQL from http://pkgmaster.com/ - can go wrong with this one - just remember to reset the root password! Either way, it looks like you are using version 3.22.32 - PKG Master has 3.23.54 which is a far more recent version. No doubt there is a way to do what you are asking but a reinstall would surely be quicker.
